Riding With White Chicks
I remember this film back in 2004. An American comedy film that stars the brothers Shawn and Marlon Wayans. I guess you know what I am talking about. Yeah, you are right, the really funny “White Chicks”. Of course, who would forget that two disgraced black FBI agents who were forced to dress up as white chicks to protect cruise line heiresses Brittany and Tiffany Wilson?
And the scene that Latrell Spencer, a famous basketball player sings Vanessa Carlton’s girly feel-good song “A Thousand Miles”, that I will never forget. The song was sung by the bunch of girls who went out for shopping. While they are on the red top-down vehicle, the song was suddenly played on the car stereo and so they were forced to sing the song (even if they don’t have any clue that the song really exists) with them.
To give you a piece of the fun, here is Vanessa Carlton’s 2002 hit.

A Thousand Miles
By Vanessa Carlton
Album: Be Not Nobody (2002)
Makin’ my way downtown
Walking fast
Faces pass and I’m homebound
Staring blankly ahead
Just makin’ my way
Just makin’ a way
Through the crowd
And I need you
And I miss you
And now I wonder
If I could fall into the sky
Do you think time would pass me by
Cause you know I’d walk a thousand miles
If I could just see you tonight
It’s always times like these
When I think of you
And wonder if you ever think of me
Cause everything’s so wrong
And I don’t belong
Livin’ in your precious memory
Cause I need you
And I miss you
And now I wonder
If I could fall into the sky
Do you think time would pass me by
Cause you know I’d walk a thousand miles
If I could just see you tonight
I, I don’t want to let you know
I, I drown in your memory
I, I don’t want to let this go
I, I don’t
Makin’ my way downtown
Walking fast
Faces pass and I’m homebound
Staring blankly ahead
Just makin’ my way
Just makin’ a way
Through the crowd
And I still need you
And I still miss you
And now I wonder
If I could fall into the sky
Do you think time would pass us by
Cause you know I’d walk a thousand miles
If I could just see you
If I could fall into the sky
Do you think time would pass me by
Cause you know I’d walk a thousand miles
If I could just see you
If I just hold you
Tonight

I just can’t believe it. Imagine a football player (Terry Crews) singing that song? The movie popped up in my mind while I was looking for igniton parts online. Well, I better be going now…
